Fans -- including one holding a Dak Prescott jersey -- yell to Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo as he walks off the field after a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in an NFL football game at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday, Jan. 1, 2017, in Philadelphia. The Eagles won the game 27-13. (Smiley N. Pool/The Dallas Morning News)

"It's a hard time finding a place for this guy," Casserly said. "I wouldn't touch him."

He said that even if there's a team willing to pick Romo up should the Cowboys eventually cut him -- Romo's huge contract makes him darn near impossible to trade -- there's not really a situation where he would work well.

"It's gonna be a hard trade," Casserly said. "I think he will get released because I'm not sure anybody would give up anything to get this guy. 37 years old. Three back surgeries. You don't know what you're buying. You're going to have to have him on a reduced contract, a lot of incentives, maybe even put a waiver in there. If he has another back injury, hey we're not going to pay it. That's what kind of a risk I think this guy is."

Casserly then broke down potential options for Romo should he become a free agent, and explained why they won't work.

Arizona? He expects Carson Palmer will be back.

Buffalo? That's a rebuilding job.

Chicago: Jay Cutler is more healthy.

Cleveland: Another rebuild.

Coach Romo? Jerry Jones says Cowboys QB 'has the ability to be a great offensive coordinator'

Denver: "They're committed to Paxton Lynch right now. Maybe that changes when you get to July, but it's not July," Casserly said.

Houston: With Brock Osweiler's contract, what's left to pay Romo?

Jacksonville: Committed to Blake Bortles "for another year we'll say."

Los Angeles Rams: Committed to Jared Goff.

New York Jets: Rebuild.

San Francisco: Yet another rebuild.

But wait. Couldn't he just back up Prescott again?

"Tony Romo is going to say, 'Release me.' That's what his agent's gonna want to do. I wanna be a free agent," Casserly projects.
